to be fair, the rolling and falling makes sense if it's a big crowd and they're running quickly
They actually make the scene more realistic.
I thought that.
04:30 I think that this guy got no payment for this.
Yea I don’t know what he’s talking about 🤦🏾♂️
TO BE FAAAAIIIIRRRRR
The stormtrooper was completely accidental, but in re-releases of the film, the sound effect "bonk" was added so as to demonstrate that they had fucked up, and recognised it.
No shit
The sweeping guy is me when my manager comes and I need to look busy
yeah. it's when the ads says sweep, but don't make a sound. As the mic will pick it up.
@@francoisnel5253 it would create a dust cloud as well, very bad for filming. The guy just didn't "sell" it well enough I guess but he was doing the right thing technically when you think about it
😂
I've noticed quite a few "frightened running crowd" scenes where people are smiling. It makes me laugh every time.
I've noticed that there is always at least one person walking.
house party 2 has one of those... lol
And they do tell us at some serious/scary scenes NOT to smile!!! Didn't notice such so far (didn't look that closely).
The rolling extra may have been an accident but I kinda like it. Adds a small bit of realism and makes everything seem more frenzied. Some people would fall if something like that happened
The psychic kid seems a bit iffy. Seems like the sound hurt his ears, so it’s understandable he’d want to cover them. They probably should have placed him further away
but the sound is an effect. They dont do that sound in real life, they edit it in later. So he wouldn't have heard it...
@@asmrgongshow328 They fired a blank on set, I don't think back then it was possible to convincingly add muzzle flash in post production. Definitely loud and scary to a kid, especially in a soundstage.
04:30 This guy is probably blind. Besides, I wish they hired real street sweeper for this scene. He would know what to do.
Actually the barrel rolls in Die Hard 2 make the scene alot more realistic, because in mass hysterie people will trip over their feet by a significant margin.
The extra from Quantum of Solace was probably told to be quiet while sweeping, since the sound of the bristles on the ground could probably have been picked up by the overhead mic. I just find it hilarious that he thinks the way to go abut solving this problem is by lifting it off the ground about thirty centimeters! XD
Amazing none of the ADs caught him!

SAVE YOUR TIME BUDDY
CYCLOGY Love Psychology I respect that 😂
thanks, i always check for comments like these
The funniest part about the storm trooper was that they actually added the "bumping" noise after the film was done. I love that they just had fun with it. Lol
Ummm, how do you know that the people "rolling" in Die Hard 2 wasn't just them tripping and falling down?
How do you know that they weren't told to do that?
Stopped watching after that.
I actually think it's more realistic to see people rolling. Imagine how hard it would be to run with a huge crowd around you...plenty of people would fall over and roll. This video was stupid
Once there was a fire in a family gathering everyone was getting out but my legs were shaking a lot so when I ran I collapsed
It was like 4 years ago
I bet the sweeping man was told by the director to not actually sweep because it' was blowing dust over into Daniel's area messing up the shot, but if that was the case, they shouldn't have even had him there
JaDversary actually it was more likely due to noise feedback. That one was definitely not the extras fault
I've worked as an extra in a couple different things and that almost certainly was the reason (the sound thing). I've seen sound guys get understandably agitated with extras because they were whispering conversations instead of miming them as instructed during a scene, and the mics were picking it up. Feel bad for that guy because I always see him getting crap for being a "bad" extra when he technically did his job right
I think it was to not get picked up in the audio recording
As someone who sweeps at my current job with those types of brooms, yeah they can be noisy
oh dang. someone already said what I just said..
I always love it when I see a big action scene in a city with completely disinterested pedestrians in the background.
They are not extras, but regular people who have been told not to look at the camera.
So you can have a big moment (GET TO DA CHOPPAAAHH!!!) with cars crashing, bombs going off and people being shot, and these idiots
are just standing around yawning and looking at their watches. Or else they're walking really fast because they have to be somewhere, dammit.
I've always found watching the background actors was more fun then watching the main ones lol 😂😂😂
I have been an extra many times, since that time I’m paying more attention to the extras 😅
that guy in jurassic world who saves his 2 margaritias when the dinosaurs attack the park entrance
xXHey You PicklechuXx you mean Jimmy Buffet the man who sings Margaritaville.
Lmao for real!!!
true,its the most obvious
You mean Jimmy Buffet's cameo?
What a satisfying "CLANG!!" from that helmet. :)
Mike Morris It wasn't there in the original version
The best part about the storm trooper thing was that the sound effect was actually added in for the special edition. Despite some of the other controversial changes, it is nice that George Lucas has a sense of humor about silly things like that.
I was laughing the #7 happy go luck swimmer😃😃😃
relax,what could happen LOL
I was an extra in dunkirk and I was stunned by how awfull some of the extras were.
Lmao how was it? How did you sign up?
There was always this scene in Braveheart with a tight shot of Wallace realizing he & his army was winning… but in the back ground, the extras had already stopped fighting. 😂
The storm trooper was a bad extra? More like the best one ever lol.
What about "Batman, yeah!" Guy from Batman Forever?
XD I found it funny
margareth michelina Batman, yeah!
technically an extra is someone in the background who doesn't have any lines. You get payed a lot more if you have a line. Even more if you interact with a star of the movie.
Not to mention it's the same guy Batman saved earlier.
Well, he was SUPPOSED to do that lol
The broom was probably making too much noise for the mics. They tell him to pick it up a little, and he goes too far. They have a shot of him doing it better, but for whatever reason, the editor sees this and loves it
You miss the best one. In Scarface (1983), there is a scene where Tony and Manny are talking about committing a crime (I can’t remember exactly). The scene takes place when the refugees are living under the highway. As Tony and Manny are walking towards the camera, you can see an older man with a Hawaiian shirt walking in and and out of the scene behind theme. In the next scene, at the airport, you see the exact same man, with tractor the same clothes, walking with a limp and a suitcase in hand. This is by far the worst extra ever.
Well done WatchMojo, one of the funniest top 10 you'd had in a while. Seriously, I'm hoping for a series of this, so funny!
I have two - the pair of extras pretending to fight in the beginning of the movie "Gladiator", and the black dude in the original Ghostbusters movie - when the crater opens up at the end, and everyone is stunned. His overacting stuck with me all these years.
I've seen these being mentioned online a lot of times already, but one moment that wasn't mentioned in this video is from "GoodFellas" when Henry and Jimmy are eating at a restaurant; you can see a man sitting at a table behind Jimmy wearing a red shirt who obviously can't eat his dinner in a natural way or stop himself from looking in the camera.
I feel like a guy smiling while running from a shark arrack is a definite possibility. People are weird, man. And the unzipped fly, well, that shit happens irl, so it's just a little human moment that doesn't take away from anything. The rolling in the crowd running scene seemed pretty natural to me. The broom guy, while silly looking, was likely following orders to avoid sound or dust. The lazy student probably should have kept running, though lol but I would have done the same 😆 the psychic kid is unfortunate, but his ears probably hurt from previous takes. Doc Martin's kid... that's funny and odd lol idk how they didn't catch that!
only things is the lazy student, i do not agree. why even be on a set if your not even trying. just saying
There was one extra in Dunkirk who kept looking directly at the camera. I forget which scene it was because I still have yet to see the movie but I remember after the teaser trailers were released that’s all everyone was talking about.
Oh, come on, they explained why the "tall stormtrooper" hit his head about a year ago. He wasn't feeling well and was more focused on trying to get to the bathroom.
This was great! We need another one of these
Oh my, you’ve clearly never been on many film sets, my friend. I’d have to write a book here to really explain how this works. Firstly, you’ve got union and non-union background actors. The union (background) actors are a mix of trained actors and experienced background actors, while the non-union (background) actors are typically inexperienced non-actors or people just entering the industry. Then there are the people wrangling the “extras”. They tend to do a shit job at it, and like most everyone on a set, treat the background actors as if they were total idiots who were born yesterday. Also, unlike some film making myths may have some folks believe, no one is paying attention to background continuity either, except the underpaid experienced union background actors - who are literally the only working members of a production who don’t get mentioned in the credits. When an extra mentions a continuity issue, it’s usually ignored, as people usually just want the day to end. And filming days run very long, sometimes past the magical 16 hour mark where “golden time” happens and checks get real big all of a sudden. Background acting is exhausting work, as you’d be surprised at how sitting around having to be ready at any second sucks the energy from your soul. So much of the time these folks are totally drained by the time they complete a shot. They berate them all day, treat them like dirt, give little useful direction, make them wait at the back of food lines, expect them to snack on Twizzlers and peanut shells, and pay them shit. Sure, there are the random unemployable non-union retarded extras, but most people doing those jobs are no more or less smart than most people you’d meet anywhere else. Just like everywhere else, IQs typically range from 85-120, with the random 120-145 folks on a set. In other words, it more complicated than you may think.
There was also this bad movie extra in Underworld Rise of the Lycans, when lucian jumped on a horse and ran out of the castle to save his girlfriend from a lycan attack. As he ran out a guard runs to try and stop him, but does so with minimal effort. I dunno why that scene always made me laugh.
Am I crazy or is there an extra in Ghostbusters that yells "YEAH" really loudly as they go by?
😂😂😂dude with that broom and dude from jaws was funny!
What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?
Was in the middle of watching the most recent WatchMojo video and saw an extra doing something ridiculous so I looked up “extras doing too much” and found this video🤣🤣🤣
Imaging having to do absolutely nothing but still screwing it up
6:17 gets me everytime
The mud scene from Full Metal Jacket
That Little Boy In Back To The Future Looked Creepy I Was Laughing At His Face Until I Saw The Hand Gesture. Looks Like Damion
Rolling Extras seemed normal, as if people would fall from clumsy running, not sure how realistic since I have never been in any mass shooting or robbery in a mall, or whatever, but that feels pretty normal/realistic considering there might be people who push others just to save themselves, so some might fall down, the question is, in what ways...so physics should come into the play of making it convincing if you pay enough attention to those extras, but I think they did their job well and sold it anyway.
In fighting movies I always watch how extras are fighting and falling, whether they run to the hero close in, are they waiting for their turn, and whether or not they are falling from nothing or they actually get fake punched, etc.
Also anxiety or a panic attack could cause a person to collapse and it’s pretty common
I loved that they added the "bonk" to the tall Stormtrooper hitting his head on the door.
If I remember correctly, the extra playing the stormtrooper was sick (I think it was food poisoning) when he hit his head. I do like that they kept it in because it fits well with the helmet problems when you think about it
I have been subbed for a long time
5:37 that an amazing detail!!!! The kid did the explosion!!!!
If you ever do another one of these (maybe you have and I just haven't spotted it) but you should add The Blues Brothers to this list. Towards the end, when the Blues Brothers make their entrance at the Palace Hotel Ballroom and strut onstage. When they stop, the audience sits there stone-faced...except for one extra, who can be clearly seen smiling and chuckling. Once I saw, I can't unsee it everytime I watch that movie.
In the Batman clip the guy is not an extra, but a stuntman who clearly rehearsed the fight where his buddy gets thrown into him… only it didn’t happen in the take, so he had to fake it to keep the fight choreography on track. Hard on him!
This reminds me of that Jimmy Fallon skit on SNL where he's playing basketball.... The 1 moment out of 5,786 appearances where Fallon made me laugh
You're missing the Batman Yeah guy from Batman Forever and the guy who throws his dog in the river from Mr. Nanny
I thought the smiling extra in the middle of a plane assault in Dunkirk would have made it. It's easily noticeable in one of the trailers
Some other good ones:
-In _Hellboy (2004),_ when Hellboy and Sammael first crash into the subway station during their second fight and level the ticket booth, the crowd scatters. Except in two or three shots, there's a woman with dark hair who is just... casually strolling away at a snail's pace, looking down with a blank look on her fact, like she can't be bothered to react. Every other extra is doing their job and reacting to the carnage except for her. And unfortunately she's front and center in two of the shots, and the editor is clearly trying to cut around her so she isn't noticeable. If you notice her, she sticks out like a sore thumb and will be the only thing you'll see.
-In _Spider-Man 3,_ during the key to the ceremony, as soon as Gwen calls out "Spider-Man!" watch the people on the left side of the screen. One of the extras goes friggin' apeshit! Like her eyes practically leap out of her skull and she screams out "SPIDER-MAN?!?!" like she's shocked, stands up and points with exaggerated motion... then literally grabs the side of her head and starts rocking back and forth like an idiot. It's the funniest thing, and it's super distracting once you notice it the first time. She's clearly milking her opportunity to be on camera.
Should've included the crazy lady on stage from Spider-Man 3 who looked so dumb and fake when she cheered when Spider-Man swung in to get the Keys to the City.😂
I'm not sure if this has been done before but u should do a top 10 of movie/show missed edits.. like a person wearing a sweater then we see her take it off but the next scene she is wearing it again... or something like that.
Great Scott!
Allen Murallo I heard he was *FROZEN* that day. (Nostalgia Critic reference... Poor Christopher Lloyd!)
Dean's Girl Is he the guy who played Doc Brown?
Allen Murallo He’s the guy who played many characters: Max Tabor, Professor Plum, Commander Krudge, Judge Doom (etc), and most notably, Doctor Emmett L. Brown.
The line I referenced comes from a hilariously bad movie, Suburban Commando. Lloyd exclaims to Hulk Hogan’s character:
*”Christ! I was FROZEN today!”*
It’s an understatement to say this movie was beneath him.
The guy in the bond film was doing what he was told. If he was actually brushing the noise would interfere with the audio. It’s the people in post that are supposed to correct it. He was supposed to not be brushing.
Anyone notice in across Ventura when he goes in the rock concert. And blonde kid starts headbanging then stops and keeps smiling at the camera then he would start to headbanging again for a second then stare right back at it smiling. He was right behind Jim carry and no one noticed
I love your videos
Keep up the good work
There’s this one part in Full Metal Jacket where they are running thru mud and PVT Pyle and about half the others look miserable and the other half are smiling and laughing.
The post-celebratory-high-five-gone-horribly-wrong, after the Pod Racing scene in The Phantom Menace, fucking killed me for some reason! 😂😂 The two kids who played Anakin’s friend, what’s-his-face, and Little-Greedo’s-Twin (whoever the hell that was) were hilarious! It’s probably fair to say that the mask was obstructing “Greedo reject’s” vision, but it still makes me laugh!
What makes number 8 more hilarious is that the guy looked VERY lost as he enters completely from off-screen, and looked like he could fall any second now. As for number 6...yeah, it looked like the kids were distracted by SOMETHING, not just being frozen.
LG GM. I think it's something they needed to "fix in post". Like that was the only cut of the main actors in the foreground that they could use, but the kids in the background were picking their noses or another extra blundered into the shot, so they superimposed an image of the kids just sitting there and hoped nobody would notice they weren't moving.
@@TheSuburban15 yup agreed
LMFAO this is a good one watchmojo , never thought i’d say it
I was trying to find worstextrasever but this works too
Near the end of Christmas with the Kranks when the firemen grabs the ladder it hits his colleagues chin
They really said 'add a little bit of...spice'
There is a guy in the back ground of Animal House before the parade is started when Dean Wormer is blowing the ceremonial whistle. It’s a grey hairs man that has the best facial expressions. Check that one out
Did that extra from Jaws mistake which film he was in or something. It looks like he is trying to do a Baywatch run especially when Watchmojo slowed his scene down lol 😂
I knew #1 would be the head butting stormtrooper. Another one the original Dawn of the Dead. A zombie extra that lied dead from a gunshot suddenly moved to avoid being hit by another falling zombie.
This make me laugh XD. Do again WatchMojo
These guys aren’t failures, they’re legends
Wanna know how Snoke got his scar?
#1
You realize background actors do it on purpose sometimes to be funny and be caught it's funny and fun
In Star Trek: First Contact, at 56 minutes or so, Lt. Barclay asks to shake Zephrim Cocoran's hand. There is an extra walking in the background who appears, disappears, stops, then starts walking again. HA!
Worst movie extras but best possible gifs for dank memes
Interesting list, never would have thought of it tbh.
In the vomit scene in Stand By Me, there is a woman in the back flapping her hands and was miming vomiting without any coming out of her.
there's one in goodfellas when the extra behind de niro in the diner scene cant stop looking into the camera
when it comes to the worst movie extra of all time, all i have to say is
"Happy the gold jacket's yours, Shooter's gonna choke"
At least these children understood what they were supposed to do but they took it a bit too literally.
Damm, so early.
Also, the stormtrooper that got hit in the head by the top of the door better be here.
It is.
The stormtrooper hitting his head was interviewed on the documentary "Elstree 1976."
Watch your head Jango.
Didn't they also add the sound effect of that stormtrooper hitting his head in re-releases?
I laughed more than I should on the stormtrooper one lol
For #4. Quantum of Solace. First off, I haven't seen the movie to judge that scene on what happen. I'm just going to make an assumption. If there was any dialog on that scene in question. I'm going to assume that the boom mic audio guy was picking up odd noise. And someone pointed out that sweeper guy. So I'm going to assume that sweeping guy have to improv that scene due to audio issues...
6:21 - Way to go, Gary.
This is nice idea of lists
This why I love WatchMojo, "original" content.
Iirc from born on the 4th of July the extras at the convention that was attacking cruise character with signs were smiling and not angry
You should do top 10 famous actors/actresses as extras.
I think the boy in "Back to the Future 3" needs to go to where you don't need roads.
At 3:21 Caption here Frozen Kids.
Him:What are the kids doing ?
Her:Frozen Right now but they'll move a little bit
The batman one was HILARIOUS!
The broom was genius
that was space balls worthy.lmao
Near the end of platoon there is a radio man following around Captain Dale Dye , he is the definition of bad extra, ...
In Matthew Brodericks "Glory", one of the children left a wrist watch on
The guy with the chair in the church scene from Kingsmen
In Naked Gun 33 1/3 during the facepalm scene, some people just ‘pushed’ their head
I can’t see will feral without laughing
